Pros

Good pay and benefits for the work

Cons

Chances of moving up in company, and moving to dayshift positions, largely based on your relationship to upper management and HR (biased to friends and family). Pay and benefits are good but being on nights for so long affected me negatively over time. Emotionally damaging seeing people move up and to day shift because they were related to management. Didn't matter what their work ethic was or how long they had worked there. Some individuals never set foot on night shift.

Pros

Good insurance. 5% 401k match. 7% of your gross goes in your 401k via profit share. Good amount of PTO. A lot of the people. Climate controlled. Clean environment.

Cons

Hourly pay too low to deal with their BS. Too much OT after promising none. Haven’t seen the plant manager in literally years. Production floor manager is full of it and plays favorites to the extreme. Unless you’re part of the clique, you’ll get nowhere. Instead of raises, we got board games for the break room. The restaurant in the building is gross and a joke. They preach that they’re “like a family”, but only because they want you working there for cheap. Should’ve never taken 12’s away just to mandate 10-20 hours of OT per week. No real recognition or appreciation ever.
